Specific praise acknowledges good work performed by a student and/or provides positive feedback for good behavior. Specific praise shows students that they have experienced success. Specific praise is more effective than general praise as it is expressed to a particular student’s behavior or accomplishment at the time of the event. An example of specific praise is recognizing a student seated properly and prepared for the next lesson. This specific praise recognizes a student practicing good behavior and indirectly motivates other students to act similarly. Criterion-Specific rewards target good behavior and provide recognition. Rewards of tangible objects, such as stickers, toys and, or candy should not be used as incentives for good work.
A recognition program that could measure the quality of the items produced, as well as a second recognition category for the quantity of items produced may give employees a reward that would have more intrinsic value then a bonus that has little monetary value due to tax withholdings. Rewards given could be something as simple as an employee

These types of rewards are intended to increase the motivation in a child and by recognising their success will lead to their good behaviour and a positive work ethic. However, where there is praise there must also be sanctions, this will teach children that unacceptable behaviour will not be accepted. Behaviour that may include; bullying, disrespect to
In my lesson plan 3, I had learned to add praising to the whole class as they are participating in class and following the directions with minimum teacher’s instructions. On a daily basis when I am with the students,
* Symbolic rewards-giving something that represents praise for behaviour or other achievements, such as stickers or certificates.’ (Lindon. J 2009, guiding the behaviour of children and young people: Hodder Education. (pg. 189))
Reward, whether it is financial (in terms of a monetary bonus) or simply praise and the recognition of success, will positively impact levels of motivation within a team. For example, a sales team working towards a target, that if achieved will mean a financial bonus will be more motivated than a team without this incentive, especially if a high percentage of that team have money as a primary motivating factor. The effect of praise and recognition on staff will be a team that feels valued and appreciated by its organisation. This will help promote harmony and make for a stronger, healthier and a more motivated team. A team that is not praised and recognised will soon start to feel that their hard work is not appreciated.
Throughout “Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude” by Ross Gay, Gay shows how nature controls emotional responses, forces and other higher or more powerful things. Furthermore, nature brings about unnatural aspects causing greater control of forces in nature, and outside of the natural realm. Many cycles revolve around nature, producing a circle, or cycle, of life that changes depending on different things. Even more, nature can interact with man-made things in ways that disrupt it. Gay portrays nature as a commanding force, something that’s located everywhere. Also, it shows how the nature forces have consequential reactions, resulting in everything being controlled by nature. Ultimately, this shows how Gay portrays nature as a controlling
However, high praise is completely different from the regular brand. For example, if a parent is constantly high praising their children when they do great in school and bring home phenomenal grades, it can become very scary for the child when they bring home a bad one. This is also the same for sharp criticism.
In this case analysis we shall be examining the unintended contradictory results that reward systems bring about and recommendations in solving the issues highlighted
A reward is a high extrinsic motivator. The reward can be monetary, gift certificate, day off with pay, a two hour lunch, or working for two hours on anything but work. All entice performance and competition in the workplace. A gold star, being the teacher’s helper for a day, no daily
Recognizing employees for accomplishments such as finishing a major project, reaching sales targets or providing excellent customer service can be an important motivating factor. Set goals for workers to strive for and offer rewards for reaching them. This could be in the form of an employee of the month scheme, a bonus, or a promotion. Some companies conduct meetings where employees are recognised for good work in front of their colleagues. This can help motivate all the workers in the business to strive for success.
Many students are driven by grades for higher education and future jobs. When rewards such as candy and toys are used to gain student motivation it can be considered bribery.
To motivate employees to work towards reaching organizational goals, managers frequently depend on some form of enticement. Beyond monetary compensation, awards and additional types of acknowledgment can be given, and the ability to choose a work schedule is a possibility. A reasonable pay system, which would be an incentive for individuals and groups to achieve organizational goals, is a hardship manager’s face (Jones & George, 2011). Within the company that I work for, every quarter awards are presented to Customer Service Agents who have maintained a 95 percent or above quality score. Monetary awards are given out as well as time off coupons.
Being rewarded and recognised for their work or contribution is what keeps an employee motivated to work towards achieving the organisational as well as personal goals. When the employees is motivated by rewards, they will have job satisfaction consequently increasing the productivity of the organisation. It necessitates the need of managers to pay more attention in understanding their employees and come up with suitable types of reward systems for the organisation so that the employees are intrinsically and extrinsically motivated all the time. The hypotheses that I put forward here is to support this statement that effective reward management is critical to
